avg watchdog

I have the latest avg free
I am usually quite careful not to let addons enter, I usually watch for all prechecked boxes
Apparently I missed avg watchdog
Winpatrol is not even able to remove it
Is there a way to remove it
If I totally uninstall avg and put avast on my computer will watchdog go away
I get no virus or Trojan or malware reports from avg or Malwarebytes or Microsoft malicious software removal tool
I do not like any program or addon to a program on my computer that I do not want there even if it is a good program
Also is there any hint that Microsoft will stop forcing updates, I always did mine manual after waiting a month for the
good, bad, and ugly report

My post disappeared, I don't know if I violated a rule or what, I can find it using search but is not on main page
I also received no answers which is rare on this site

I disabled AVG WatchDog Service today on my Windows 10 machine. I did this by booting my machine in Safe Mode and then followed this sequence: Start Page => Windows Administrative Services => Component Services => Services => AVG WatchDog. Then I changed the Startup Type setting from Automatic to Manual. Finally, I rebooted the machine normally and then repeated the above sequence to ensure AVG WatchDog would start manually only.
